Abstract
The present invention provides a process and system for identifying a person. According to the inventive method, and with the aid of the system, a sensor is used to capture biometric characteristics of a person to be identified. Identification data is extracted and the identification data of the person to be identified is compared to reference data in a database. In a preferred embodiment, an image is taken of creases in the skin of the person to be identified, reference crease data having been taken beforehand and stored in a database, and a first recognition is effected by means of the skin crease image in a filtering stage. After this first recognition, the reference data of the database may be filtered using other biometric characteristics, with continuing recognition using these other characteristics.
